AdvertisementTo find the best hot chocolate, I tried Starbucks, Peet's, Coffee Bean, Dunkin', and Krispy Kreme.
For those of us trying desperately to cut back on caffeine, the humble classic hot chocolate is a top-tier choice.
Peet's Coffee Peet's Coffee offered a standard cup of hot cocoa made from chocolate powder and 2% milk.
AdvertisementWithout the dairy, Dunkin' hot chocolate was noticeably less creamy, though it had an intense chocolate flavor — a likely benefit of the mocha syrup on top.
Though notably missing any unique toppings such as a chocolate syrup swirl or marshmallow, which would undoubtedly heighten the experience, this hot chocolate was rich and creamy without being too sweet.
